So you could of ovulated late. Are temping? That's the only way to confirm O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/19-dpo-af-5-days-late-should-i-test-again-or-just-wait-for-af#post-2094183 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 09:27:49 +0000 stiletto_mom 2094183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: You're probably right. Though I'm DREADING the arrival of AF because we are leaving to the Dominican in a few days and we wanted to BD the whole time we're there!!</p> <p>So if AF is delayed, I'm sure my next ovulation date will be delayed. URGH.</p> <p>And I wouldn't even know when to start using the OPK again if AF is skipped completely. I've started temping so I guess that's my only indication. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/19-dpo-af-5-days-late-should-i-test-again-or-just-wait-for-af#post-2094169 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 09:20:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2094169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Im sorry. It also could be that the fall delayed AF but you did ovulate on time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/19-dpo-af-5-days-late-should-i-test-again-or-just-wait-for-af#post-2094157 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 09:17:08 +0000 stiletto_mom 2094157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone. I tested on a dollar store HPT. Still negative this morning. 20 dpo, AF 6 days late.</p> <p>I'm going to chalk it up to late ovulation despite having used an OPK. =/</p> <p>I started temping this cycle (and it has not been higher than expected). So I'll just wait for AF to show up. No more testing =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/19-dpo-af-5-days-late-should-i-test-again-or-just-wait-for-af#post-2094138 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 09:09:13 +0000 hellobeeboston 2094138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would test again! But think if you were pregnant it would probably show a positive by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/19-dpo-af-5-days-late-should-i-test-again-or-just-wait-for-af#post-2094102 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 08:39:36 +0000 Alivoo01 2094102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: Wishing you the best and a BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/19-dpo-af-5-days-late-should-i-test-again-or-just-wait-for-af#post-2093939 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 23:40:54 +0000 Emilia80 2093939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiletto_mom: goodluck, hope u get your bfp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/19-dpo-af-5-days-late-should-i-test-again-or-just-wait-for-af#post-2093908 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 22:51:14 +0000 autumnlove 2093908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Test!

If it's negative you could still test Friday, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/19-dpo-af-5-days-late-should-i-test-again-or-just-wait-for-af#post-2093813 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 21:18:39 +0000 stiletto_mom 2093813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here are my symptoms by DPO, what do you think?</p> <p>DPO are approximate.<br /> Using: Clearblue Advanced Digitial Ovulation Predictor Kit<br /> Cycle: 5<br /> Average cycle: 31 days<br /> AF shows up on time about 70% of the time.</p> <p>3 days of high fertility<br /> "peak" day on cycle day 18</p> <p>Cycle Day 15 - high fertility, no bd<br /> Cycle Day 16 - high fertility, DTD<br /> Cycle Day 17 - high fertility, no bd<br /> Cycle Day 18 - peak fertility, DTD, stopped OPK<br /> 1 dpo - nothing, DTD<br /> 2 dpo - nothing<br /> 3 dpo - nothing (wanted to bd but DH just wasn't in the mood)<br /> 4 dpo - nothing<br /> 5 dpo - light spotting<br /> 6 dpo - light spotting<br /> 7 dpo - light spotting<br /> 8 dpo - nothing<br /> 9 dpo - nothing (went skiing, wiped out, bruises and minor whiplash)<br /> 10 dpo - increased libido, DTD, tension<br /> 11 dpo - sore breasts, increased libido, sore body (probably from the fall)<br /> 12 dpo - twinging pain on left side, trouble concentrating, dull headache (can't tell what is pre-AF symptoms, early pregs or from wiping out)<br /> 13 dpo - light cramping, shakiness, trouble concentrating, slightly faint/fatigued<br /> 14 dpo - light cramping, twinging on left side, sore breasts, clear mucousy discharge which is odd (due for AF today or tomorrow), symptoms of low blood pressure and sugar (ugh, how hard did I fall. This is totally messing me up) Did a dollar store hot test. Negative.<br /> 15 dpo - light cramping, twinging on left side, sore breasts, clear mucousy discharge continued, symptoms of low blood pressure and sugar still present. AF is a day late, still no signs of usual spotting.<br /> 16 dpo - light cramping, sore breasts, "gut" nausea. Still no spotting. AF is two days late. Took another dollar store hpt test - negative.<br /> 17 dpo - nothing but sore breasts. No AF. DTD<br /> 18 dpo - light cramping, sore breasts, "gut" nausea, light-headedness and weak spells. Still no spotting. AF is four days late.<br /> 19 dpo - twinging pain on left side again, lower back ache, sore breasts. Still no spotting, AF is five days late.</p> <p>Extra notes</p> <p>My usual AF symptoms<br /> - spotting a week before AF<br /> - mood swings/irritability a week before AF<br /> - headache, bad cramp, bloating, sore breasts the day before AF<br /> - increased libido maybe 2 - 3 days before AF</p> <p>Symptoms signaling pre-AF this time:<br /> - sore breasts<br /> - light cramping<br /> - increased libido</p> <p>Symptoms that are out of the ordinary:<br /> - fatigue/light-headedness, shaking hands<br /> - clear mucous-y discharge<br /> - no spotting<br /> - no irritability/mood swings<br /> - no headache</p> <p>Non-Pregnancy things that might be affecting these changes:<br /> - skiing wipe out, minor whiplash last weekend<br /> - stress from the above event resulting in delayed AF?<br /> - symptoms look like low blood sugar/pressure, but my diet hasn't changed ... so it's strange</p> <p>Do you think I ovulated late? Or is this a good sign for pregnancy? I am thinking that I should wait until this Friday when I'm sure AF was missed to test. Do you think I should wait? </p>
